A study was done on 200 male hospital employees of similar socio-economic status in the age group of 25-45 years. The smokers had a significantly higher total leucocyte count and there was a significant positive correlation (r = 0.388) between the quantity of cigarettes smoked and leucocyte count. Besides this a significant lymphocytosis and neutropenia was also observed. It is suggested that total leucocyte count may be taken as an index for the degree of smoking.
对200名年龄在25至45岁之间、社会经济地位相似的男性医院员工进行了一项研究。吸烟者的白细胞总数显著更高，并且吸烟量与白细胞计数之间存在显著正相关（r = 0.388）。除此之外，还观察到显著的淋巴细胞增多和中性粒细胞减少。有人提出，白细胞总数可作为吸烟程度的一个指标。
